Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.2 is also said to deliver “significant improvements” in resource management and high availability, as well as new features aimed at storage and file system performance and identity management.

“Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.2 provides additional capabilities to manage system resources. It also adds enhancements to storage and file system features including full support of iSCSI extension for RDMA. Now, benefits of low latency and high throughput through a standard SAN implementation based on 10Gb Ethernet are available to even the most demanding storage environments. This allows customers to opt out of expensive Infiniband hardware or other dedicated interconnect fabrics,” said the company, in a press statement.

This level of computing sees file system capabilities in use such delayed meta data logging, asynchronous and parallel file system writes, as well as support for multiple active instances of Samba in a cluster.

Development for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, the next major release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux is also “fully underway” at this time.
